This Last Coupla Weeks! 🏃🏻‍♀️

It has been a crazy couple of weeks.  I am still not ok after my fall, but maybe it has just made my sinus infection worse.  I finally have the sinus surgery scheduled for December 8th.  Not looking forward to it.  My Dr said I will hate him for a month, 

but I will be his best friend in 6 weeks.  

*anticipation, right?*   Lol...

I have a quilt retreat this next weekend.  I have been getting unfinished projects together and getting them loaded and ready to finish.  There are a lot... that is all I will say about that.

I went with the church girls to the Veteran's quilt show in Bartlesville and saw some great quilts.  I took a picture of this one because I liked the simplicity of it:

Then we went to lunch and ate pizza - my favorite this week, however, 

I think it changes with each IgIV.

I helped make decorations for Inola Hometown Christmas:

We went and picked up Raelee's bike.  It seems when you turn on the blinker it dies... Steve said it is a short.  Hopefully that is all it is.

You have to understand any where we go from our place is at least 30 miles away.  One way,  Yes, we live in the country. Way out in the country.

We went and picked up my brother south of Oklahoma City for the Thanksgiving holiday.

I sure hate that the only time we see him is once a year when we go get him.  

But at least I see him.  I miss him so much, but we are together now and it is nice.

Then there was Thanksgiving.

And packing for the retreat.

And helping a friend's aunt sew MINKY.  Ugh.

And filling Etsy orders.

And cooking.

And sewing.

And fighting a non ending headache.
And doing embroidery for out.

But I still haven't had time to decorate for Christmas or make Christmas gifts.

So this is the sticker on my granddaughter's car... 

                                                            This is the way I feel.  Frazzled.

Tah-Dah!!

Thanksgiving centerpiece is finally finished.  It only took a year, but I love it!

I am thinking of putting ties (like a tied quilt) for the pumpkin stems… what do you think?  

And I had scrap Halloween fabric so I made a back for it!  Now I just need add batting and quilt it.  

Thanks to the girls at Inola UMW Stitchers for the pics!

So Georgia finished this quilt… 

and I absolutely love it!!

And this is Karen’s quilt!

Isn’t it beautiful?

Have I ever said I love to quilt?  

I do.

And I love seeing quilts other people make!

Inola UMW Stitchers

We are sewing a scrappy quilt, making it as a quilt as you go so we don't have to quilt it later.  It has been a lot of fun, and pretty darned easy, too!

We were hanging it on the wall, but are planning a design board, made with insulation panels and covered with batting for the wall.  Hopefully it will come soon.

This is Georgia.  She is making one of the blocks, but... 

She kinda pinned the sewing machine cord into the block!  We sure had a good laugh over that.  Lol... 

 

Most of the ladies of the Inola UMW Stitchers are new stitchers.  I am enjoying showing them new things and we all plan the next project and carry it out.  It has been so nice to fit in with a sewing group of ladies.  I love them all.  We bring lunch and sew, laugh and make projects to help other people.
